About The Role:

QA Engineer

Location: Remote UK or Ireland (occasional office visits may be required)

Start: ASAP

Sponsorship: Not available

We're looking for a mid-level QA Engineer to help us maintain the reliability, performance, and integrity of our API and browser-based applications. You'll work closely with developers and other members of the business to identify issues before they reach production, investigate root causes when things go wrong, and help maintain a culture of quality across the business.

This role suits someone with a genuinely investigative mindset — someone who doesn't just find issues, but wants to understand why they happen, trace them back through systems and data, and help prevent recurrence.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Design and execute exploratory tests for our products based on requirements.

• Investigate defects and anomalies across API endpoints, tracing issues through logs, databases, and system behaviour to root cause.

• Communicate findings, risks, and quality status clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Prioritise and organise testing efforts across multiple concurrent workstreams, adapting quickly as priorities shift.

• Working closely with developers and other business functions, not siloed in a separate QA function.

• Contribute to the ongoing improvement of QA processes, tooling, and standards.

• Support performance and load testing activities where required.

• Where applicable, contribute to or maintain bespoke automated test suites.

What You’ll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or a related field.

• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to break down complex problems and interpret data and system behaviour accurately.

• An investigative mindset — comfortable digging into logs, data, and systems to find root causes, not just symptoms.

• Strong organisational skills, able to manage multiple test efforts, priorities, and deadlines accordingly.

• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain technical issues clearly to varied audiences.

• Hands-on experience testing REST and SOAP APIs, including request/response validation, status codes, authentication, and edge-case behaviour.

Nice To Have:

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where focus and priorities can shift frequently.

• Good working knowledge of SQL for data investigation and validation.

• Some experience working with cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, Azure).

• Familiarity with C#/.NET, or the ability to read and understand code in this stack.

• Some exposure to test automation tools or frameworks.

• Some experience with performance or load testing.

• A track record of working closely and collaboratively with development teams.

• Previous experience in a fintech environment.

What We Can Offer You:

• Competitive salary on offer for the right candidate based on experience and role fit.
• 20 days annual leave per annum, rising to 25 days over 5 years.
